Summary

Quarterback Rank: #40All Players: #257

Jackson was traded to the Bills before the start of last season but didn't get in a game. He was third on the depth chart. It was quite a drop for Jackson after starting about every game in 2011 for the Seahawks. His career as a starter isn't over yet, though. He still has time to earn a starting job once again at age 30. Jackson has plenty of starting experience and past success. He probably is a better backup than starter, though. Jackson is a good athlete. He has a plus arm and does a good job making plays on the move. The big knocks on Jackson are he lacks accuracy and makes poor decisions (35 interceptions to 38 touchdown passes). He also doesn't throw a great deep ball.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Even when starting, Jackson isn't a great fantasy threat. His past numbers have never been great. He is a little bit of a dual threat, which helps, but don't expect much if he gets a chance to start. His numbers will be mediocre. He won't be worth using unless in a really good matchup.

Oct 03 04:49 pm

Buffalo Bills QB Tarvaris Jackson is expected to remain third on the depth chart the rest of this season. Head coach Chan Gailey does not envision Jackson challenging backup QB Tyler Thigpen. 'It would be very tough for Tarvaris to challenge for that spot this year because of limited reps (in practice),' Gailey said. 'Fitz takes almost every rep we have on offense during the course of the week. The backup gets very few reps through the course of practice. So it's hard for him to get the reps necessary to make a viable charge at this point for that position.'

Sep 14 02:42 pm

Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix said QB Tarvaris Jackson is having problems moving up the depth chart because he is not getting many reps during practice since he is the No. 3 quarterback. Nix said Jackson has been working at learning the offense and has been at all the meetings but is not getting the practice time.

Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said QB Tarvaris Jackson still has a lot to learn regarding the offense and will remain the No. 3 quarterback for now. QB Tyler Thigpen will continue to be the No. 2 quarterback.
